XP downloads fast ... Ubuntu Slow

[Dinerty]

Ubuntu:

>Fast HTTP downloads e.g web pages load fast, drivers download fast Programs download fast e.g java

>Fast Ubuntu updates

>Fast downloads in terminal

>VERY SLOW FTP and IM e.g Kopete transfers, couple of kb/s a second

Windows

>Fast FTP and IM transfers

To test this theory, If I download the exact data from same FTP in Windows its fast as hell, if I download the exact same data from the same FTP in Ubuntu, it is slow as hell

It seems alot of people are having this problem, hopefully there is a fix for it soon

Have you tried using a different FTP client? Mozilla Firefox can act as an FTP client as well.

e.g. ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/

Ubuntu hasn't any strong transfering data in net than WIn
I almost download by Firefox download manager in Ubuntu,but XP which has many choice :Internet download manager,Flashget.Download accelebrate plus,....

download by FTp appz so slow,even if u use in win or Linux,the best sollution is copy link in FTP and then paste.Download manager do better than any FTP transfering appz

ipv6 is disabled in the firefox browser via about:config in the url box

To completely disable IPv6 (system-wide, including the IPv6 over v4 tunnel),:

# sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases

(Replace 'gedit' with your preferred editor.)

Replace "alias net-pf-10 ipv6" with "alias net-pf-10 off" and reboot. After that, 'ifconfig' should no longer show any scary looking hex-notated IP addresses.
